Shen Zhiyun was simply envious of the love in that book.
A car accident, an orphan's life, and a world that paid him no attention had made him covet the two couples in Two-Faced CP. He never imagined envy would come at a price. The vagrant System No. 000 dragged him into the book, put him in Song Yaoqing's body, and used electric shocks to train the compassion out of him.
Cheng Jingxiao held his lover's body, knowing that someone else's soul now inhabited it. Song Yaoqing drifted nearby, forced to watch “himself” marry his lover.
